HOOVER, Alabama -- Hoover Mayor Gary Ivey is apparently on his way to a full four-year term after he drew no opposition in this year's municipal election.

Meanwhile, four incumbent council members, including former Mayor Brian Skelton, do face opponents in the Aug. 28 election.

Kenneth Teter, 42, qualified to run against Skelton for Place 6 on the council. In other contested council races:

Demarcus Hill is running against incumbent Trey Lott for Place 1.

In Place 3, Library Board member John Lyda qualified to run against incumbent Mari Morrison.

Place 7 on the council has three people running --Jason Cerniglia, incumbent John Greene and Ken King.

The 57-year-old Ivey was City Council president until September when his colleagues appointed him as mayor to fill a vacancy that was created when then-Mayor Tony Petelos was hired to become Jefferson County's first professional manager.

The deadline to qualify in this year's election was 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Three council members are unopposed: Council President Jack Wright, who holds the Place 5 seat; Jack Natter in Place 4; and Gene Smith in Place 2.
